In this episode we discuss...
- Pastoral contentment in the local church:
- 1 Timothy 6:6–10
- We live in a world that thrives on stealing your contentment!
- Cell phone updates
- New Vehicles
- Weight loss drugs
- We're drilled with advertisements telling us what we really need
- Love of a bigger church
- Love of respect from other pastors
- Love of a different location
- How much of our discontent is based on GOOD things vs. selfish things? How much of it is just part of being a fallen human in a fallen world and finding no ultimate satisfaction here?
- How can you work on becoming content with your lot as a rural pastor in the church you’re in today?
- Be sure of your call to every business you go about. Though it is the least business, be sure of your call to it; then, whatever you meet with, you may quiet your heart with this: I know I am where God would have me. Nothing in the world will quiet the heart so much as this: when I meet with any cross, I know I am where God would have me, in my place and calling; I am about the work that God has set me. - Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
Stuff Rural Pastors Can Use Review:
Our Quote of the Day:
- Contentment is one of the most distinguishing traits of the godly person, because a godly person has his heart focused on God rather than on possessions or position or power. - Jerry Bridges
